Welll, since it Halloween today and I love making lists, I've decided to make a list about the things I like about Halloween. So here goes:

The candy (yum yum)

Vampire Academy, by Richelle Mead ( I know that isn't Halloweenish, but books can be included in anything)

Scary moment time: I was eight and living in an apartment with my parents and siblings and the fire alarm starts going off. I was so scared that I literally ran to my parents' bed and hid under the covers. It turned out that there wasn't a fire, some idiot was sanding downstairs. :p)

Another scary moment: I almost got left behind on a train station in France. We were getting on the train and the doors started closing and my dad had to stand between them so I could get in. Very, very scary.)

Although I really, really like this cover, I'm most likely not going to read the book. I didn't enjoy Abandon at all. ﻿To be honest, I didn't even finish it. So unless it shows up in my library, I won't be reviewing this book. *Sorry, Meg Cabot*

Hello everyone!! Happy Halloween!! *spooky sounds, like the Harry Potter music*. I hope you all get lots of candy :p.There's a great giveaway going on over at I Am A Reader, Not A Writer. Kathy is giving away a copy of Crossed, which will be released tomorrow, November 1. To check out the giveaway and enter click here.

Eve by Anna Carey (Signed ARC)The Faerie Ring by Kiki Hamilton (Signed!)(* Please note that these have been read, and put in my dorm room. I've taken very good care of them, though, and they should look close to brand-new.)

This is a weekly event hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine that spotlites upcoming new releases that we're highly anticipating﻿.

This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:

Fever, by Lauren DeStefano

Rhine and Gabriel have escaped the mansion, but danger is never far behind.

Running away brings Rhine and Gabriel right into a trap, in the form of a twisted carnival whose ringmistress keeps watch over a menagerie of girls. Just as Rhine uncovers what plans await her, her fortune turns again. With Gabriel at her side, Rhine travels through an environment as grim as the one she left a year ago - surroundings that mirror her own feelings of fear and hopelessness.

The two are determined to get to Manhattan, to relative safety with Rhine’s twin brother, Rowan. But the road there is long and perilous - and in a world where young women only live to age twenty and young men die at twenty-five, time is precious. Worse still, they can’t seem to elude Rhine’s father-in-law, Vaughn, who is determined to bring Rhine back to the mansion...by any means necessary.

#1: "Meeting my gaze, he took one step forward, drew me into his arms, and brushed his lips to mine. I think our last kiss was meant to be quick and chaste, but after the first touch of his lips fire leaped up and roared through my belly. My fingers yanked him close, digging into his back, and his arms crushed me to him as if wanting to meld us together."

#2: "At the foot of the throne, the lady knelt and held out the scepter in both hands, bowing her head. For a moment, Mab did nothing, simply watching the faery with an unreadable expression on her face. The rest of the Winter Court seemed to hold their breath. Then, with deleberate slowness, Mab stood and plucked the scepter from the woman's hands. Holding it up before her, the queen studied it, then raised it up for all to see.

And those are my teasers for this week. What are yours? Leave the link below. (:
